hey, chris !!! am coffee and dave primeaus' videos, again, as they are done so well !!! chris, one quick question... was dave by any chance an engineer in real life ? having worked in the mechanical/civil engineering profession for over 33 years, it appears to me dave has that professional engineer disposition i readily saw in my fellow engineers before i retired.... very exacting and precise mannerisms, which we see in his layout as well. please respond, as i sent the message below to you over a month ago and have been hoping you are ok. i will run BISI1 in your honor tonight, right before i watch hockey night in canada ( i am 35 miles directly south of buffalo and have been watching hcn out of TO since the mid 60's by way of an old fashioned antenna !!) and hopefully see the oilers hammer florida !!! blessings to you, chris and we hope you are doing well !!! ps... is it just me or does it seem rather crazy a teal from florida (ugh !!!) should be playing a canadian team ??? lets go oilers !!! oilers in 5 !!!

Great layout but I'll just mute it when you start the HO DCC sound. I'm just not a fan of sound in HO scale as it sounds way too tinny and so very unrealistic; maybe one day they will improve the sound. Cheers from a DC guy in eastern TN

How do you do the pine trees? Also I will be painting on a darker brown background any suggestions I am going to work on sky first then down to the brown. I had that can so I covered up some spots on the basement wall that were blue. Should I paint that brown blue again or what colors do you suggest for a mountain scene like you are doing here. I am going to try my hand at it. I am pretty talented! 🙂

A unit train, also called a block train or a trainload service, is a train in which all cars carry the same commodity and are shipped from the same origin to the same destination, without being split up or stored en route

thx for specifying. Wouldnt have come to that clue on my own. We also have a term for that which could be translated like complete train. Not such a term of its own and also not really covering all aspects though intended to do so. So then: every day is a train day. Take care!
